I was actually called a "criminal" for serving as an active duty Marine for six years.
Not exactly a page out of the "How to make friends and influence people" handbook.
Another thing was a sense of almost militant atheism. I'm one who doesn't care what you believe, just don't use it as a bat to beat others into submission. Saying people should have no faith in anything but their reason kinda leaves out all of those people who aren't very good at reasoning things through.
Rambling a bit here, sorry. Haven't had my coffee yet this morning. ;-)
That's pretty sharp for a guy in a pre-coffee state! Not to mention a freezing-cold state ...
